Why is everyone shitting themselves over Greninja? I get the whole Protean thing but Greninja can hardly make use of it bar STAB and the occasional immunity

This is true, but Aegislash is still a pain in the ass to predict because of King's Shield. The only saving grace is how slow it is, but Autotomize can help with that.

Being predictable doesn't mean it will hurt any less.

Omni-stab is no laughing matter, and there is hardly anything that outspeeds him.

Water/Ice/Grass allow for neutral damage on anything.

Hes better than the other two for sure, Delphox has nice stats but no moves, and Chestnaught is a funny tank with common weaknesses and no Special def.
Greninja feels predictable because everyone is running the same cookie-cutter movepool for him, when people get a hold of his entire moveset we will start to see some variety and strategy.

Except he doesn't fucking hurt. He can't even kill something with 70-80 special defense with hydro pump.

Whatever he is killing needs to have gengar tier defenses for it to kill without being super effective. Withhis coverege theres not a lot of types he can't hit hard, and even them hes useless until your other pokemon takes out the opposing teams tanks. Greninja sucks

I was in the same boat, I liked the "leaked" design, that Gallantoad fakemon. When they revealed Greninja something inside me broke and was very disappointing.
Fortunately Amie changed everything for me. He's the best.

No, they are all equally good. Chesnaught only runs away from flying types in the physical defense and can run leech seed with synthesis and spiky shield, his weakness is any special attacker that hits his few weakness or quad flying. Delphox is a great special wall but has little coverage. Greninja can kill and outspeed most frail sweepers but can't put a dent on anything else and dies to anything.

It's better than Delphox "I'm just a fox wearing a robe" and Chesnaught "I'm supposed to be a knight right?"

Chesnaught would've looked 10x better if they gave him a shield on one arm (no retractable bullshit, give him a full kiteshield) and turned the other arm into a hammer. Give him more of a paladin look, but still in the vein of Pokemon.

5 2x weaknesses and a 4x isn't few weaknesses, especially when they're common types like Fire, Ice, Fairy, and Flying.

Did you forget bulletproof?

Hitting him with a super effective physical attack is not gonna dent him.

I did say he runs away from special attacks didn't I? The good thing about that tho, is that he doesn't need to run setup.

Delphox falls short ingame, I think. The models just kind of make it look like a fox standing up inside a long dress.

delphox needed a dumbledore/gandalfesque beard like a motherfucker.

Are you factoring in STAB, Life Orb, and rock damage?

Greninja is not a sweeper, he is a cleaner. He cleans up anything left over with that insane speed stat and his omnistab. Greninja obviously can't sweep, but he can damn sure clean up any left over messes your Garchomp or Salamence left behind.
